An artist in the truest, purest sense, Michael Kiwanuka has captivated audiences since his debut album, Home Again, in 2012. A talented, unassuming young man of Ugandan heritage and honeyed voice, Michael stood out for making the most emotionally engaging contemporary soul music of recent years, earning him a coveted BRIT award.

His next album took a bold creative turn. Love & Hate was produced alongside Danger Mouse and flew to number 1 in the UK, with its otherworldly soundscapes sounding both singular and sprawling, an opus by anyone’s definition. His third release, KIWANUKA, a complex but deeply listenable and expansive expression of self-worth, reaped Michael the distinguished Mercury Prize in 2020.

With his highly anticipated album, Small Changes, dropping at the end of 2024, we’re so excited for Michael Kiwanuka to be headlining Cross The Tracks 2025.
